Overall things are looking good. Your grades are excellent as is your GMAT. We also see that people with family business goals tend to do rather well (the bigger the business, the better they do

) So when you present your goals to the AdCom make sure you emphasize the solidity and future potential of the business, as well as get SPECIFIC with your own plans on how you will grow the company as CEO/Owner.

Other than that I would recommend you add another 3-4 schools to your list.

Yes it does! Lucky you.

We call that a "legacy". If I remember correctly they ask you that on your application form, but when you apply you should also have your sister send a note to the Adcom.

What do you mean by "have my college senior"??? Do you mean you were at HBS for an exchange during your Senior year? Can you clarify?

I'm working on my HBS app now, and they wrote that they don't consider any additional materials outside of the scope of the app.

Is that just an official stance that's not necessarily true?

By the way...legacies. That should honestly have no bearing on admissions. It makes me so mad. Just another way for someone to gain an unfair advantage independent of merit.

Hii John,

I guess I was not clear in my previous post.
One of my college alumni is presently doing his MBA in HBS.
So,can he help me in my Application Form.
Will it work similar to brother-sister relationship?

Thanks,
Vamsi

Their official stance is their official stance. I can't claim that they are wrong, but you do have the option of ignoring it in certain cases. One example: Let's say your on a wait list, and the school asks you no to send any additional materials, but you get promoted to an awesome job. You should probably tell them about it anyways.

As for legacies, you may be right, but sometimes that's the way things work...

No, not really. At Harvard especially, the effectiveness of "knowing someone" who has done the MBA is less useful than t might be at other schools. Basically Harvard doesn't care as much because they know that everyone wants to go there.

Don't worry about it. Would have been great if you got MORE. But getting less won't affect your profile negatively in any way. (the schools will also very happily take your 710

)

Thanks for telling me that Jon ! I feel much better now .

Hi Jon ,

Just wanted to ask you something specific .

How can I alleviate concerns about my sub 80% percentile verbal score on the GMAT ? Is there some online course that I could do ? Can you recommend anything ?
